Artemis & Apollo

So after a very productive day of work, re-shooting product photos for our Etsy Store and brainstorming upcoming blog posts. Apollo and I came up with the grand idea of turning our top 10 Pinterest finds into Top 5 finds secretly chosen by each of us…Reason?…Well Apollo and I have the scary habit of picking and liking the same items so as a running test, we want to see how often we picked the same item!!! (But for your sake we won’t show you the same item twice 🙂 We just like seeing how often we are right!!! I guess that’s why we work really well together! We will be sure to keep you updated on our running stats!:-)

I have always been a huge fan of orange as a colour. So when the 2012 colour trends were announced late last year, I was pretty pumped that one of the colours chosen was tangerine orange. I quickly rummaged through my design files to find some home decor inspiration.

Now you may not want to go out and do a whole room change just to incorporate this year’s colour in your decor. But what you can do is make small changes to areas that you love to spend time in.

So switching out pillows, rugs, throws, repainting outdated furniture, placing new art on your walls and so much more, is a quick way to add the colour that evokes warmth and comfort. I quickly put together a list of products as a guide for you. These pieces range from $27.00 USD to $269.00 USD.

This is a new year, and I have a new lease on life. A new year is for new beginnings, and I am going to start this year off right. I have a new mantra in life and it actually came from my 3 year old son, who told me that “tomorrow is my today”, when I heard this I had an epiphany…how could he have figured it out at such a young age. Life is too short to wait for something to come your way, or wait for another day. Life should be lived as though there will be no tomorrow, as you never know if today will be your last day.

So with my husband and my little man at my side I have decided that I will no longer procrastinate, I will no longer allow the L word (LATER) to come out of my mouth. Whether it be doing the laundry, working out, or taking that family trip, no more putting things off. Most tasks only take a matter of minutes to complete and can make your life more manageable and fulfilling. So this year enough is enough, no more “I am too tired” or “there is always tomorrow” I am not going to procrastinate, I am going to live as though there is no tomorrow, as tomorrow is my today!

To help me live this mantra everyday I have created a wall decal and placed in on our front door, so I will remember to live every single day to its fullest.

OVERALL VERY GOOD WORK

Overall very good work, attention to detail was excellent. Quality is very good and price was competitive. Communication was excellent and the sub trades were very respectful. I would highly recommend basement builders.
